News: Karaoke is popular in Japan and, of course, elsewhere. So what happens when thousands of people record themselves karaoking and post the videos on YouTube? Well, for Japanese music, YouTube has worked out a 1-year royalty deal to pay Japan Rights Clearance to allow people to continue to make these amateur karaoke videos and share them online. A similar deal has been hashed out with JASRAC. (More)
Analysis: Good deal. This deal benefits the public and those Japanese amateurs singers or just karaoke fanatics on YouTube. YouTube is essentially acting as an intermediary and arranging the copyright deal that ratifies the user practice. I have an article coming out in October that discusses the importance of these user practices -- I will share a draft soon. The Japanese deal raises a couple questions in my mind:
1. Will a similar deal be hashed out in the United States, with the likes of ASCAP and others? (It may well be that YouTube's prior deals with some of the music labels/publishers may have covered some of this.)
2. How can YouTube afford to pay for all of this? YouTube is doing a public service right now by enabling people to do a lot of things with video without the need for users to get copyright licenses, but YouTube needs to make money somehow.
Have you been turned down by other lenders?

Do you have a viable business but lack the necessary finances to get it off it’s feet?

Don't have a lot of cash to buy a building? You not have to worry, because this is achievable to get the loan to work out such kind of problems. Thence get a sba loan to buy everything you want.

I like the train of thought in your post but I tend to think you would do well to back up your thought process with a very small amount more solid data.

Write more, that's all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You clearly know what you're talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?
